The AI bubble is heading for a reckoning. Why small businesses win by running local, open AI they own, and what to do before the crash.
When the trillion-dollar bet on giant models unwinds, the firms left standing won’t be the ones who bet biggest. They’ll be the ones running AI they actually own.
I think the AI bubble is going to pop, and I think your business will be better off when it does. Not because AI is worthless but because the version being sold to you right now, billion-dollar models humming away in distant data centres, is the most expensive and least controllable way to get the benefit. When the money tightens, the firms left standing won’t be the ones who bet biggest. They’ll be the ones running AI they own. You don’t have to wait for the crash to make that move.
